Ah, the New Year—that wonderful time when we ease into spring cleaning and New Year's resolutions. If you’re like us, you’re probably staring at your craft corner wondering how on earth you’re going to wrangle all those IOD goodies into an organized, inspiring space. We get it—it’s a lot. But don’t worry, we’ve got just the project to help you kick off the year feeling accomplished and ready for all those creative endeavors.
Today, creating a crate that's not only a total lifesaver for keeping your supplies tidy, but it’s also a gorgeous way to showcase your artistry right there in your creative nook. We’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, using a few lovely IOD products to uplevel a plain craft store crate into a functional work of art.
So, grab your paintbrush, pour a fresh cup of coffee, and let’s get started. Together, we’ll start the year off with an organized craft space that’s every bit as beautiful as it is practical.
